Frequently Asked Questions

Many people struggle with this question, often waiting until they’re in crisis before seeking help. The truth is, if mental health challenges are impacting your daily life—whether that’s affecting your sleep, relationships, work performance, or overall well-being—it’s worth exploring professional care. You don’t need to be at your breaking point to benefit from treatment. Our initial consultation can help you understand if treatment would be beneficial, and many clients tell us they wish they’d reached out sooner. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Unlike traditional mental health settings where providers work independently, our coordinated care model ensures all your providers—therapists, psychiatrists, and other specialists—work together as a unified team. They talk regularly to discuss your progress, adjust treatment plans, and ensure all aspects of your care are working in harmony. This approach eliminates the common frustration of having to coordinate between different providers or repeat your story multiple times. Many clients tell us this integrated approach helps them feel truly supported and understood for the first time in their treatment journey.

We accept most major insurance plans. Our insurance specialists will verify your benefits before treatment begins and explain exactly what is covered. For those with out-of-pocket expenses or without insurance coverage, we offer flexible alternative payment options. We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to receiving quality mental health care and will work with you to find a solution that makes treatment accessible.

Yes. Our programs accommodate clients’ personal, professional, and educational commitments. We offer flexible scheduling—as well as an in-person/virtual hybrid option to ensure clients can maintain their responsibilities while actively participating in treatment. 

We treat a range of addictions, including those related to alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, and both illicit and prescription substances. We address a diverse array of mental health disorders ranging from anxiety and depression to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and bipolar disorder. Additionally, we provide dual diagnosis care (aka co-occurring disorder treatment). 

Yes, we offer Medication-Assisted Treatment as part of our comprehensive care for substance use disorders. MAT is used to ease withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and lower the chance of relapse. It is combined with counseling and behavioral therapies for a practical treatment approach.

Our admission process begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand the client’s needs and circumstances. This assessment allows us to tailor a treatment plan to best suit the individual’s needs. It includes evaluating personal history, severity of addiction and/or mental health status, and any specific requirements or preferences.

We offer various therapies, including individual, group, and family therapy, along with modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma Therapy, Holistic Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Additionally, we incorporate holistic approaches like mindfulness and yoga.

Family involvement is a key component of our treatment approach. We offer family therapy sessions that aim to improve communication, address relational issues, and educate family members about substance use and mental health disorders. This approach helps rebuild trust, enhances emotional support, and creates a supportive environment conducive to the client’s recovery.

We adhere to strict confidentiality protocols in compliance with HIPAA regulations. All client information is handled with the utmost discretion, and confidentiality is maintained throughout the treatment process—as well as during the initial call to discuss treatment options. Our staff is trained to uphold these standards, ensuring our clients’ privacy and dignity are always respected.

Absolutely, we encourage potential clients to set up a time to tour our facility. Getting a feel for the location and the staff can help determine if Guardian IOP is a good fit for your needs and preferences.

Reach out now to talk with an admissions advisor. In addition to answering your questions, staff can provide insight about insurance benefits, payment options, and more. Contact us to schedule an initial assessment, and we’ll guide you through the next steps.

Research consistently shows that virtual treatment can be as effective as in-person care for many individuals. Our virtual program maintains the same evidence-based approaches and quality standards as our in-person services. Some clients actually prefer virtual treatment, finding it easier to engage from the safety and comfort of their own space. We carefully assess each client’s situation to determine if virtual treatment is appropriate and make adjustments as needed.
